Recommends That Every Osvser Of Pool
Rooms be Arrested.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "a The district
attorney having been asked recently by
the director of public safety whether pool
selling was not gambling, yesterday sent
the director a letter, in which he says:
I am of the opinion that the business OF
pool selling, or French pools, is gambling
within the meaning of our statute against
gambling The business is vicious and
temoralizing, and does great injury, and
I am sure that no court in Philadelphia
will hold that it is not covered and pro
hibited by law. Iecommend, therefore,
that every proprietor of such place known
to the police be notified to close up and
quit the so-called business within twenty
four hours, or else that they be sumsaar-
ily arrested and the cases returned for
trial.

NATIONAL HOARD OF TRADE.
An Animated Discussion of the Tarin
Question:.

An animated DIsCu-siOn oil the IariN
Question.
At the meeting Of the National Board OF
Trade, after The CRITIC's report closed
yesterday afternoon, the tariff question was
taken up, the occasion being the resolutions
adopted by the Chicago Board OF Trade.
These resolutions call attention to discrim-
nations made against American products
by foreign powers, and recommend an early
reyi,ion of the tariff. Heretofore the Ma
,ional Board OF Trade has been stronghold
of protection, and its utteranccs, scarcely
without exception, were in favor Of high
tarf.
From the outset Of this meeting II was
apparent that strong free trade element
had crept in, and when the Chicago board
Of Trade resolutions were brought up the
hi2h taflii men aimed to Kill them by tablng
item until next year. This the Chicago
men claimed was au insult to their Board.
The molten to lay on the table was then re-
considered, Mr.. Baker Of Chicago support
ing the resolutions of his board at some
length. Following, Mr.. CItliu of Chicago,
Stcrns Of New York and Ludlow of Chicago
favored the resolutions, and Messrs Sperry
OF New Haven, Wetherell Of Philadelphia
and Higgins Of New York opposed II. Mr..
Henry Of Portland, Ore, and Mr.. We,herell
spoke in favor OF the abolition of the In
iefnnl revcrue tax.
Mr.. W. z. McLaren OF Milwaukee then
offered resolution, In which was inserted
The provision that any revision shouid be
with the distinct aim to foster and encour-
age tuch OF our own manufacturing indus
tries ss ere of important benefit to the peo.
pie ut large. The resolution was adopted
unanimously, the free trade men taking 1t
as the best that could be had, and the tariff
men being glad to get of with conceding SO
little. At the evening session series OF
resolutions favoring changes In the laws
regulating the procedure in the customs
service were adopted unanimously.
Resolutions were also passed fayoring the
amendment OF the Constitution of the
United States so as to allow the President
TO veto separate items In an annual appro-
priation bill, and declaring that 1t Is the duty
OF our Government to endeavor to make
treaties with foreign governments that will
secure the extradition Of all fugitive crmi
nails.
The board then adjourned to meet In
Washington next year, at date to be fixed
by the Executive Council.

THE BUILDERs' PROTEST.
Opposition to the Commissioners
Order About street uccupanCy,

Opposition to the Commissioners
Order About street Occupancy.
One OF the most important questions that
has agitated the Master Builders OF this
city is the order Issued by the Commission
ers recently, allowing only eight feet OF tn /.
streets for the storing Of building materials.
The committee appointed at the recent
meeting, at Willard Hall, Of the citizens
interested in building and the progress OF
the city had an important conference with
tie Commissioners to-day. The committee
was composed Of Messrs. Noteley Anderson,
George Z. Cook. z. N. Dwyer, Jacob
Vthmeyer and Mr.. Langdon.
They stated that the order will increase
the cost Of building here; that property
owners have had the use of the streets for
building since the foundation Of the city;
that deducting the space formerly allotted
to builders the remaining portion left for
travel will be more than the entire width of
streets In New York, Philadelphia and Bati-
more; that the order will stop many con
templated improvements on account OF the
increased cost; that the delivery OF material
in limited quantities will prevent the en-
ployment Of large force OF mechanics, and
that the future of the city demands that the
privilege asked be granted. The Commis-
sioners took the petition under considera-
tion and promised to give 1t their earnest
attention.
